 What A Disaster Aug 28, 2010
The trip, not the movie. I don't know how the crew managed to do it. Even knowing they did make it back alive, I was really tense when the re-entry scene was playing. This movie is a must for anyone interested in the history of the moon program.

Zzzzzzzzzz Aug 18, 2010
What a disappointment! This movie is easily in my top 5 favorite movies of all time so this review has NOTHING to do with the film itself. This review is completely directed at the Blu-Ray "experience"
When I finally purchased a Blu-Ray player, I was determined to replace my regular, "Apollo 13" DVD with this "improved" version. Well, once I received it, I was disgusted. In short, after 8 minutes of twiddling-around with menus, previews, advertisements and social-networking nonsense, I think I finally got to the movie at which point, I didn't care anymore! I think it looked a little better better and may have sounded better but, it made no difference whatsoever, given the agonizing length of time it took to even get to that point. The mere fact that after about 5 minutes of loading, you have to select the language each and every time you play the disc was enough to put me over the edge and I promptly retuned it. Thankfully, I kept my original, DVD version and it happily remains in my collection, forever able to display the movie for me at a moments notice!

 Something that everybody can enjoy...I think Jun 22, 2010
For all my reviews visit my website [...]
I am NOT reviewing the DVD. Just the movies unless otherwise stated.
Please note that the rating above might not accurately reflect my thoughts, you will see a rating sentence at the end of the review.
This movie was fantastic. Even though I personally don't believe that the Apollo missions were real, this movie is God D@m real!!!! First, it bugs me that Tom Hanks looks like Dan Akroid. Second, it bugs me that WWE would name a stupid wrestler (not to say wrestlers are stupid,) after one great Astronaut. Thirdly, this movie makes you feel like your there. The acting and visuals are so impressive, they give you the feeling of what it would be like in there in space.
The director was OBVIOUSLY extremely smart. He puts every shot into thought, something as smart as I get I will never have the patients to do. The scriptwriter went above and beyond with only one problem: The movie either feels long or is to long, took me two days to watch this film. The producer didn't spare any expense he gave them the opprotunity, and the editor does things exactly right. The slashers who made this movie are fantastic.
It's interesting that they tell the story of Apollo 13 and not 12 or 1, that was not typical. They also don't recreat any transmissions, only scenes. What I mean is that they use real television broadcasts from 1970. Again, the acting is awesome, it makes you feel like you know these guys. Even as this is based off real life, it took a good director to recognize the irony and drama that went into this story.
Heck. what am I saying, A1 was a pretty huge part of this movie. But it's like, it's like dirt. Not bad, but good. Dirt makes up so much of what we call the earth, or at least what we feel is earth, yet we recognize plants and animals more like earth. But dirt not only makes up more earth, not only does it help keep living things survive, it is earth. Basically, in a sense, Apollo 13 was Apollo 1 except successful. It's the symbolsim and metaphor stuff you here about in school.
I could talk more and more about how this movie is so realistic, but here's the stuff: this is awesome space. It gives you the fun of space. It gives you space, outer space, but not space between you and a zillion years of cold darkness. But, that's the thing: this movie is all over the place.
At this point you probably wonder: why the heck was he reviewed Apollo 13 and not Star Wars? Well, I used to do reviews for YouTube. When I watch a movie more than once, it almost takes away the charm unless it's done amazingly. I also need to get off my butt and watch some of the movies in my collection,
And Apollo 13, the rating? 4.9/5. Almost there, just not there yet.

"With all due respect, sir, I believe this is gonna be our finest hour." Jun 12, 2010
Gene Kranz (via Ed Harris in Apollo 13): "With all due respect, sir, I believe this is gonna be our finest hour."
We had made it to the Moon! Now, with Apollo 13, we were returning to conduct more experiments and to refine the technology for space travel.
But an explosion disabled the mission on the way to the Moon, and the mission goal became the safe return of the three astronauts, Jim Lovell, Jack Swigert, and Fred Haise.
The reviews of this film have all been written. Suffice it to say that actors Tom Hanks and Ed Harris were magnificent, as was Gary Sinise and a whole host of lessor actors representing the Apollo ground crew.
Ron Howard really directed a wonderful tale of this chapter in space exploration. I wonder how audiences will react to it 50, 100, and 500 years from now? It is a great story, and should continue to entertain audiences for generations.
